Waterfall near Koh Andet Island

Koh Andet Island is located on Tatai River surrounding by jungle, about 4km from Tatai Bridge, Koh Kong province. About 1km from the island there’s small and beautiful waterfall which not many people know and have ever been there yet.

If you stay at Koh Andet Eco Resort which located right on the Koh Andet Island, you can do kayaking to the waterfall since the resort offers you a private kayak to go around for free. So it’s not only about waterfall, but also the time to enjoy kayak experience. (*´▽`*)

About 1km away from the resort, turn right at a small channel and keep going for few hundred meters more, you will see bunch of rocks as a dead end.

Leave your kayak there, and walk up about 100meters more, you will see a beautiful waterfall hidden in the middle of the forest. Some of the rocks are very sharp, slippery and shaking so please be careful. ｧｨ(｡･Д･)ゞ

If you don’t want to go to the waterfall, you can enjoy swimming at the channel while waiting. The water is very clear and shallow, so you’d better wear in swimsuit from the resort.

I recommend you should go with tandem kayak (2 people kayak) because it’s going to be very tiring with single kayak. (；￣Д￣) Or you can go by kayak and come back by boat. You can ask the resort staff to prepare a boat when you return.

Tatai Waterfall

There is big waterfall known as Tatai Waterfall on Tatai River in Koh Kong Province which is about 5km from Tatai Bridge.

I went on a private boat tour to Tatai Waterfall which was arranged by Tatai Resort and Marina last year. The boat was so big just for 3 of us. The tour guide was very friendly and helpful.

Since the resort was just next to the Tatai Bridge, it took only 20mns to reach the waterfall and the scenery was so amazing on the way.

The boat cannot go near the waterfall due to many many big rocks. It is parked about 100 meters away and you have to go on by walking if you want to go top of the waterfall.

Actually, I visited there once a few years ago. At that time, we had to crawl up and down along the stream and slippery rocks in order to reach the waterfall and it took about half an hour, but now they have made a new path on hillside next to the waterfall which is easier to walk and it takes only short time.

You’d better wear comfortable sport shoes and long pants and it’s better to start the boat tour to the waterfall from early morning so you can enjoy there longer.

Kayaking on Tatai River

One of the best activities during my stay at Koh Andet Eco Resort is kayaking and it was free!!! (´∀`艸)♡

There was a tandem kayak (2 people kayak) parking outside our lodge, but since I like paddling alone, I asked them for a single kayak and they didn’t charge any cents. It was good to do kayaking in the morning because it was not so hot.

I stayed there only one night, so I didn’t have much time paddling around. If you stay there longer, you can paddle further, and check nearby resorts called 4 Rivers Floating Lodge and Tatai Riverfront Resort too. Who knows, you might be interested and come back again next time. (*ﾟ▽ﾟ*)

Fruit season at Tatai River

I went to Tatai River in the end of May this year and it was good timing for fruits. The area is famous for pnheav fruit (called in Khmer and lansium arasiticum in English), also mangostana, rabutan, durain, pineapple etc. from May to July.

If you stay at Koh Andet Eco Resort during fruit season, you can enjoy picking and eating phneav fruits as much as you can since phneav trees there will be full with many fruits, and they allow the guests to pick and eat for free.

If you don’t like sour fruit, you can visit local village along Tatai River for other fruits where they’re naturally grown and the price is a lot cheaper compared to the mainland.

Gorgeous Patio

What I like about Koh Andet Eco Resort the most is all the lodges have their own gorgeous patio along with private kayak parking on the river. And each lodge has its own view of tatai river and mountain (๑>◡<๑) .

You can enjoy drinking instant coffee, or eating fruit while looking at that breathtaking view with your mum. The resort has wifi too, so you can take pictures together and show off to your friends. You also can do video live. I’m sure they will envy you ( ˘ ³˘)♥.
